Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 48 Commander Jeff Williams and newly arrived Flight Engineer Kate Rubins of NASA discussed their research and activities on the orbital laboratory in an in-flight interview July 13 with the Associated Press. Williams, who has been in orbit since March is scheduled to return to Earth in early September, while Rubins just arrived on the complex July 9.

 

The two crew members are planning a spacewalk in August to install the first International Docking Adapter that will accommodate the arrival of U.S. commercial crew spacecraft in the future.
